That was the subject line of the email that arrived in my Inbox a few weeks ago. It's a subject line I'm usually pleased to see, of course, because it usually means a buyer or seller wanting to talk real estate.
But this time was different. This time it was the publisher of a new newspaper in our little community of Jarrell, Texas, the Jarrell Star-Ledger. He'd seen my blog, liked what he saw, and wanted to know if I'd write a column for the paper, just like my blog, all about Jarrell.
I jumped at the chance, of course. Who wouldn't?! My own column, with my photo, in color, where I can hold forth about Jarrell and all things real estate? The hard part? Not staying on deadline, so much, as keeping the column to 250 words or less. That is hard for someone as wordy as I am! I already have a couple of columns under my belt, though, and am getting better at it - just write everything the way I normally would and then prune, prune, PRUNE!
This is just to say that Active Rain works. In many ways beyond the obvious.
Thanks, folks!
